the "right" religion?

Question

Do you think anyone has the right to tell someone else that their religion is wrong and that they won't go to heaven unless they follow _______? (fill in the blank with the religion you follow)

Answer 1

No one religion is right, and no one religion is wrong. There are so many different beliefs because there are so many different types of people. No one should ever tell someone else their religion is wrong, because if any the religion you follow helps you as a person, and works for you, it has to be a positive thing.

Answer 2

There is no right religion or wrong they serve the purpose intended. That's why it feel right to who ever is involved in it! Some people need some justification to do whats right, if not, they would self destruct. Imagine, If these religious people found out there is no heaven or hell. We'll be in some major trouble. These are usually people that in there heart the only thing that is stopping them from being who they truly will like to be is that when they die they have a choice based on how they live on earth, heaven or hell , so the capitalistic mentality is God I'll bargain I'll be good , just let me chill in yo crib, i hear its the ****. The finest women ,streets of gold, the best clothes,fine restaurants,no diseases, don't forget 7 virgins , if your a Muslim and took your enemy's life on a grand scale. Yahooooo....

Answer 3

Look noone has a right to even say you are going to go to heaven let alone hell. Just think of it this way if people stoped listening to other peoples opinion about the subject a long time ago and looked into the bible themselves they would hear about three places people may go, and leave people alone because god is the only one who knows where you will go. I will tell you that I have found a religion that is Loving and kind and respects the bible very much . They also come to your door and let you know they care about you enough to share their time with you even if you dont care. It amounts to Love and whatever religion is telling you that you are going to heaven if you do good that is not what god says. Please research this and look into yourself. If you are interested in the truth pray for it. Most religions just want want want find one that will give you real hope.

Answer 4

Yes, I think that it is matter of freedom of speech to be able to tell anything, as long as it is done not offensively and not provoking hate. Why could not somebody sincerely concerned tell me about his/her believes? On the other hand, I think it is not appropriate to push religious views into kids younger 18 years old. Let them learn about the world they live in. After all, if something really happened (or happening) in our world, it is not a matter of believe or religion, it is then a fact of history, natural history, physics… And if something never happened – well, we all like to enjoy quality fiction. As for heaven, don't be sad if somebody told you something like this. There are so many so different religions that you cannot possibly rightfully follow all of them, even if you'd want to.

Answer 5

In the first place, religion was created by men, therefore they are all faulted and many are absolutely cultic and rediculous. The only way is through christ, if you are following a religion instead of Christ, then you are in danger of falling back into the world of sin. All that is needed is repentance, belief and trust with all of your heart, mind, soul, and body that He is the Sovreign Lord and your Savior. Anything else is unnecessary legalism and that is what many "Religions" are pumping inot the churches.

Answer 6

I have been to Christian churches that have said that even though I have been a Catholic, I was still not saved the way they want me to be. I think that the "right" religion for a person is right for that person. I wish that people will stop putting God into a small box with many man made rules.

Answer 7

Well, remember that Jesus told the religious leaders that they were not doing what was right, even though they thought they were. Not all religions then are approved by God. Jesus told the Chief Priests, Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees that they were hypocrites and they were like the blind leading the blind. He also said they were from their father, the devil. Eventually they conspired to put Jesus to death, which they finally accomplished.
So was the religion they belonged to the right one? The Bible says there is only one faith. ( Ephesians 4:5)
We must examine our religion to see if it is the one approved by God as Romans 3:4 says: "--let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged."

Answer 8

Please let me quote from my book " The Plain Truth About God-101" (what the church doesn't want you to know)

** I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice,
and by men who are equally certain that they represent the Divine
will.
I am sure that either the one or the other is mistaken in the
belief, and perhaps in some respects, both.
I hope it will not be irreverent of me to say that if it is probable
that God would reveal his will to others on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me.
--Abraham Lincoln

Answer 9

Yes. It's not about having the right to impose something on them, it's about giving them the truth. We have the right to do that, but they've also got the rigt to ignore it; we're given free choice to what we believe in this world, and you can choose whatever path you want, no matter how ill-advised; only one path goes to heaven, and it isn't about a certain set of rules and doctrines, it's about a relationship with Jesus.

Answer 10

No, lots of religions think that they are the one true religion and that all others are doomed.

If that type of thinking were right then all religions would be wrong and their followers would be doomed.
